Cesarean vs natural birth.
One gives you a point head, the other a Frankenskull.

Cesarean vs natural birth. One gives you a point head, the other a Frankenskull. I used to believe this theory until I had my children. All perfectly round heads at birth. Even the one getting his dad's caveman brow line.

My daughter was C-section with a perfectly-shaped head. Of course the section was because she was breech.

What about cultural effects such as strapping the child to a papoose board to transport him/her? That certainly flattens the back of the skull.

Wow, seems as though changes happened really quickly. Just like everything else.

Sounds like the scientists have a lot to study. Climate change leading to a better or changed diet, radiation, Sun spots, etc. Glad that isn’t job.

Kinda makes it clear that all of the work assigning various skulls into different ‘species’ was a huge mistake, doesn’t it?
All based on that little ‘assumption’ that different skull shapes were more signigicant than they really are.
